Living Dead in Dallas

Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery #2

By: Charlaine Harris

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

Charlaine Harris' popular Southern Vampire mysteries have been described by Publishers Weekly as "humorous Southern-fried fantasy" with a little bit of romance.

In the follow up to Dead Until Dark, telepathic friend of the undead (and vampire bar cocktail waitress) Sookie Stackhouse puts her newfound powers to the test. After an unfortunate incident, Sookie finds herself beholden to a group of Louisiana vampires. So she agrees to travel to Dallas with her undead boyfriend Bill and track down a missing vamp, but only if the vampires promise to let local humans go unharmed. That seems easier said than done when an upstart religious cult threatens to destroy all things vampire - including Sookie, who is quickly scheduled for sacrifice.

great story(series)

loved it. could not put it down. cannot wait to read the remaining books.

love

I am 100% in love with this series and I absolutely cannot wait to read all the rest of these book!

Amazing!

I have heard a lot about these books and tried the first one and loved it. I got the second one, thinking it wouldn't be as good..... and it was! I am now totally addicted and am going slowly mad waiting for my credits so I can find out what happens to Sookie next. I love the narrator and I'm glad she is southern, it makes Sookie real.

Sookie #2 Another great story.

Sookie's journey into the vampire world deepens. I'm intrigued and captivate by the world building and the developing relationships.

Great 2nd book!

I really enjoyed this Sookie story! Ms. Harris never disapoints. I can't wait to read the next one!

To Dallas We Go

Sookie is horrified to find a cook of the bar shoved into Andy’s car. As if that isn’t bad enough, she gets attacked by a paranormal on her way to see Eric to discuss a matter. Trying to figure out if these are related, she finds herself loaned out to vampires in Texas. Sookie must handle the task in Texas so she can get back home to Bon Temps and help with the issue going on there.

I wrote a review on book three first. I stated in that that I’m technically re-reading these books. However, I am beginning to wonder if I ever read these two books. I have no memory whatsoever of them. Well, I mean obviously I do now. Either way, I’m glad I’m reading the series “again”. I remember being obsessed with the series the first time around. I still love the series very much.

I really feel like Sookie was a bit much in this book. She takes offense at every single nice gesture that Bill tries it seems like. I guess I was just raised differently. I get that being seen like a charity case is humiliating, but I feel its insulting to snub people who are offering you a gift as well. You’re basically saying you’re too good for their generosity. Maybe I’m thinking too much into it.

I listened to this book in audiobook. It was narrated by Johanna Parker. It seems the series is narrated by her. I’m not sure about books later in the series. I only got the first three. Either way, I really liked her narration. I’d listen to the entire series if I had the credits to do so honestly. I’m content with reading the rest of the series though.

I really loved this book. I’ve loved the series so far. I wish I could compare how I feel about the book now as opposed to the first time around. I can’t because I have no memory of the first time at all. It is what it is. This probably won’t be my last time reading the series in all honesty. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series is going to go!

another great read

I love the series. Living Dead in Dallas is a great story and won't disappoint you. Sookie is at her best.
